1361587 2013-12-04 03:28:00 I have a Telecom Technicolor TG582n. It did function with LAN. I decided I would give Wi-fi a go and have set it up and this runs perfectly. However, I now find that the LAN feature has been disabled. I can no longer connect with LAN to either my desktop or to the TV (not that that is a concern).

My problem is if I want two PCs to have Internet access at the same time, no go.

Can I get around this?

If you plug a PC in and run ipconfig from the command prompt, what does it spit out? copy and paste the info here if you can.

Otherwise try a factory reset on the modem.

1361589 2013-12-04 04:03:00 ipconfig just flashed and disappeared.

I just pulled the LAN plugs from the back of the modem and put them into different spots and "lo and behold" it works. Thanks for the suggestions!

Typing 'cmd' into the run box then pressing enter opens the command prompt, then you can type ipconfig in there, not that it matters now though.
